Need To Flush Before Sleep But I'm Blank.
I'm new to php and am converting a bunch of asp pages to php.
Current problem :
I am using a Submit button on a form to POST ( send the database variables )
to a php page that will send a personalised e-mail to each client.
On the php page,
I am looping through a database,
compiling a message ( html format ),
and mailing the message to my client.
After the mail has been sent, I need to wait for 4 seconds before continuing
with the next database record.
I am using this code after the mail has been sent :
echo "Mail Sent to : " . $row['CliName'];
ob_flush();
flush();
sleep(4);
Problem is, that nothing appears after I click on the Submit button on the
first page's form ( the first page just remains on the screen ). Once the
database has been looped, the entire (correct) output appears on my screen -
but I need to see some sort of progress as it works it's way through the
database.

Flush()?

Flush
i want to use flush() on my server but when i try the examples on php.net it doesnt work they way it should. I can get it to work on my other server. Is there some settings in php.ini that need to be turned on.

Ignore_user_abort() + Flush()
Seems that if I have ignore_user_abort(); at the top of my page, but flush(); later on in the page and I exit the browser, the script stops running. Rather than continue to run "in the background" until the process is done. Is it really the flush() or echo output that's causing this? Is there a workaround? I want the script to keep running whether the user stays on that page or presses back or closes the browser. But I'd like to flush some output to the user in case they do stay on the page so they know what is happening.

Flush Not Working?
I got a list of 300 urls which I want to check for a reciprocal link back to my site.

Flush Not Working In IE
let's get the IE bashing out of the way... <space provided to bash IE> </space> On to the problem: I have a query that I'm running on a test server that takes awhile to complete. I would like to have it output the data one row at a time, as the query is processed. To this end, I have basically the loop: while ($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)) { // output one row of a table flush(); } I have also tried ob_flush(), to no avail, and ob_implicit_flush() as well. This works fine in Firefox, but not IE. I realize this is browser-related, but I'm wondering if there is any workaround? One thought just occurred to me: might it be because I'm outputting a table? Is IE wafting for the table to close before accepting the flush?

How Do I Empty Or Flush An Array?
I created a PHP class which relies on an array which holds data until this data is used for printing out in a specific format defined by the output template. However, when I envoke the MyClass->PrintOut() method, I would like to flush the internal data array. I tried to envoke the 'unset' function on the array, but when I later try to assign new values to array indices (like MyData[0][1]), an error occurs. I solved this problem by creating another variable $FakeArray = array() and assigning MyData to this variable after each PrintOut method, but I doubt whether this is the best way.

Download Via Header Using Flush()
'm looking for a possibility to start a download. here is my current code: header("Content-Type: $_contenttype"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="$_filename""); // flush(); echo $filecontent; this works fine. however i'm not satisfied with that code because it seems as if the code first creates the complete file and then sends the output to the browser. then the browser starts the downloadaction and the filesize is always 1kb. what i want the code to do is to start a normal download. $filecontent will be created after sending the header (this is because the file is decoded from an email - $filecontent is an email-attachment). what i've tried out is adding flush(); after sending the header. i thought the browser would start the download dialog - however it doesn't. is there an additional header-tag that might help me? i've read something about "content-size: filesize($file)".

Flush/ob_flush Functions
I have recently started using ob_flush(); flush(); to try and update the browser when there is a function that takes a while to process. It seems like this has been causing functionality problems in other areas of the script though. Does flush/ob_flush clear php files or do anything that would cause the script to function differently besides flushing the output? I'm not sure if I'm confused. From the sounds of it the buffer is just the html/outputed data that is going to the browser. Could someone also confirm that I'm using the flush functions for the right reason, which is to update the clients browser so it doesn't timeout?

Buffer Flush Doesn't Work Quite As Expected
I've got a PHP script (running on MacOS X, PHP 4.1.12) which uploads bookings from one database to another, and I'd like to have the screen show progress as it happens (each time I process a booking, I write a line summarising it to the browser with 'print') From RTFMing and Googling, it seems that I should be able to do this by turning output buffering on and using ob_flush() et al. However, this only sort-of works, in that instead of getting output line by line, I get a multi-line chunk on the browser from time to time. Am I stuck with having this chunk-by-chunk visualisation, or can anyone please suggest a way that I can make it force each line to the browser as I write it?

Firefox, PHP And Flush() (flushing Buffers)
I have a need for a loader image for my php page. It processes lots of XML code and it takes a while to actually load the page, so I need to put an animated gif that says "Loading ..." while the XML is processed. I'm trying to accomplish this with PHP's ob_flush() and flush() functions. Internet Exploder works like a charm, Firefox on the other hand buffers the whole output and displays it as soon as everything is processed. How do I make it flush the buffers?

PHP Sleep()
I've been sitting for quite a while now, reading the sleep() manual and tried to turn the code upside down and inside out but nothing helps... I want the current page to wait a few seconds before it is directed to another ( after a successfull registration ). So i thought the best way to do that is to use sleep(). However, this does work to a certain point ... the current page waits for 5 seconds, but the text I want to show the user in the meantime doesn't show? Why? Without the sleep() and the header() it shows without any problem. Code:

Sleep()
I tried to make a script which would print a line of text at 1 line per second or whatever time i put. So i went ahead and tried this. PHP Code: echo "Passwords match."; sleep(1); echo "Passwords match."; sleep(1); echo "Passwords match."; sleep(1); echo "Passwords match."; This is a example and the text in echo has no meaning. However the sleep waits and waits for all the other sleeps to finish and then prints out all text at once.

Sleep() In The Background
how much the sleep() which is set to no limit can consume the system resource. Could it cause to hang the server? I tried the following and couldnot see the server got busy.

Would I Use Sleep To Delay
I am making a site for a friend, but with his PHP it always renders too quick and I would like it to wait a bit for the rest of the page to load, otherwise its a bunch of annoying gaps and whacked alignment as the CSS and images load and it all just looks annoying as it loads. And it takes away from the order of of information outputted as it goes through the PHP when your focused on the tripped out layout.

Sleep Function

I have found the php sleep function however have a small problem. <?php echo ("The time in 3 seconds from page loading: "); sleep(3); echo date('h:i:s') . " "; ?> The above script is meant to print the top line, wait 3 seconds and print the bottom line. Infact, it starts, waits 3 seconds and prints all at once. Now from my understand from php.net it should not sleep untill it hits the sleep command in there.

Session Timeout, Use Of Sleep Ect...
I have a custom script that uses sessions to track UID's. The only problem I have with the script is that the session times out in 1440 (min?) which I believe is 24 min. I was thinking that I could use php's sleep to hold off from doing a refresh until minute 20. Unfortunately, I have also read that using sleep can leave a server open to a DoS attack. I do not have access to the php.ini file to be able to change the timeout variable for the session. What is the best way to keep a session open without changing the .ini variable. Is sleep a good way do go about it, and if so, are there significant security risks in using sleep()?

Sleep() And Browser Load.
is there a way to get around the browser continually acting like they are loading when using sleep()? It says the page is still loading but it really isn't because we are causing a delay for some data on purpose with php. So it is for an intentional reason that we cause it. Many of us like using sleep(). Anyway to do it without the browsers showing the page is still loading? There must be a way, so many programmers for intense programming use sleep(), I can't imagine they have to deal with the browsers loading prompts whenever they do.

Staggering Execution With Sleep()
For my site, currently in development, I will be hosting some latest RSS picks from friend websites. To start with there will only be a couple, but eventually I hope to be sourcing from up to 50 partner blogs. Obviously, i dont want to make a request on every page load, so I would instead cache data from the past half hour/hour. I will be using CRON to schedule an update every so often, but having a single script making 50 requests one after the other then processing and storing the data may be taxing, especially if the outside server is slow. I thought about using sleep() to leave gaps between each request so that a sudden hogging of resources doesnt happen every hour. What are your views on this method? Is it feasable (and possibly even a good idea), or should I just get it all to execute in one go?

Require_once And Fatal Errors... Automatic Sleep And Try Again Anyone?
I have a PHP page which loads OK 80% of the time. However the rest of the time I get the following error: Fatal error: Failed opening required 'DB.php' This really bugs me, especially since the only reason this is happeneing seems to be due to server load. I would like to add code so that instead of displaying the given error, the PHP code makes the HTTP response thread simply sleep a little bit (say 4 seconds), and then retry, and repeat until the file can be opened. It seems strange to me that server load would prevent the file from being opened. Anyhow, any ideas on how I can improve the situation?

OOP Page = Blank
OOP – page does not display I need your keen eyes to figure out what is happening here I have an OOP script that works well on two local test servers One runs a slightly older PHP, the other one the last PHP just before release of PHP5, in both cases it runs with Reg Glob off, as it should How is it built: One) A class that reads a template, sets values, and sends info to a browser. That class I have used many times and I know it does not cause any trouble Two) a templates Using the following <!--{PROD_1}--> no problems here! Three) the main page << require_once ("../DB conn etc..."); // Include the configuration file. require_once ("../classes/the class I mentioned in “One”.class"); // Include the class. $id=1; $page = again the “One” class ("../templates/main_template_products.inc.php"); // Create an instance. $content_1 .= '' include "../includes/prod_1.inc.php"; $page->SetParameter("PROD_1", $content_1); and my include file <? $conn = db_connect(); $sql= "select prod_1 from XXXXX where id=$id"; $result = mysql_query($sql,$conn); while ($new_content=mysql_fetch_array($result) ){ $content_1.= $new_content[prod_1]; } ?> I am pretty sure that the scripts has no fault. It works on another production server. So what can go wrong. Up to the point of getting a full blank page that in “view source” shows 100% of nothing! I know the DB conn fine since I can edit it via my CMS using the same db conn function. Will that be a server setting? It runs with reg glob on and safe mode on.
